Adds an optional web dashboard served by OpenGFW itself, enabled with a new `web` section in the config file. Backend (web package, decoupled from engine/io so it builds on any OS): - hub.go collects statistics off the engine logger callbacks: atomic counters, two ring-buffered time series (10s and 1min buckets), top N hosts/blocked destinations/rules/analyzers, and a 512 entry event buffer fanned out to connected clients over SSE. Slow clients drop frames instead of blocking the engine. - api.go exposes /api/v1 for info, meta, metrics, events, the SSE stream and ruleset read/validate/replace. - auth.go implements password login with in-memory session tokens and login rate limiting. Mutating endpoints require the bearer token (the session cookie is only accepted for GET), which makes them CSRF-safe. - cmd/web.go implements the rule manager: rules are compiled before anything is written, the file is replaced atomically and the engine is hot reloaded. The SIGHUP handler now shares that same path. - web/devserver serves the UI with synthetic traffic for frontend work on machines where the engine itself cannot be built. Frontend (web/frontend, Vue 3 + Vite + Tailwind CSS v4 + Reka UI): dashboard, live event feed with analyzer property inspection, visual and YAML rule editors, analyzer overview and settings. Responsive down to phone sizes with a bottom tab bar and bottom-sheet dialogs, plus light/dark themes and English/Chinese translations. The built UI in web/dist is committed and embedded with go:embed so that `go build` works without Node; CI builds the frontend and checks that the committed output is up to date.

OpenGFW Web UI
A Vue 3 + Tailwind CSS dashboard for OpenGFW, built with shadcn/ui
style components on top of Reka UI primitives. It is embedded into
the OpenGFW binary and served by the web package.
- Dashboard — live counters, traffic chart, verdict/protocol split, top hosts, blocked destinations and triggered rules
- Events — real-time feed of verdicts, rule logs and errors with filters and a detail view showing raw analyzer properties
- Rules — visual rule editor and a raw YAML editor, both validated by the engine itself; saving writes the rule file and hot reloads the running engine
- Analyzers — which analyzers are compiled in and how much traffic each one saw
- Settings — theme (light/dark/system), language (English/中文) and instance info
The layout is responsive: a sidebar on desktop, a bottom tab bar and bottom-sheet dialogs on phones.
Enabling it
# config.yaml
web:
enabled: true
listen: :8080
secret: your-password-here
# cert: /path/to/fullchain.pem
# key: /path/to/privkey.pem
If secret is empty a random password is generated and printed to the log on startup.

Development
The engine only builds on Linux, so for UI work there is a standalone server that feeds the UI synthetic traffic and an in-memory ruleset:
go run ./web/devserver # http://127.0.0.1:8080, password: opengfw
Then, in another terminal, run Vite with hot reload (it proxies /api to :8080):
cd web/frontend
npm install
npm run dev
To produce the embedded build (this is what make web runs):
cd web/frontend && npm run build # writes ../dist
web/dist is committed so that go build works without Node installed. Rebuild it
whenever you change the frontend.
API
All endpoints live under /api/v1 and return JSON. Except for login, every request
must carry Authorization: Bearer <token>; GET endpoints also accept the session
cookie set at login, which is what the EventSource connection uses. Mutating
endpoints only accept the bearer token, which makes them immune to CSRF.
